17、and I wonder what makes a good journalist. In order to find the answer, I talked to Mary Harte who worked with the BBC for over 20 years as a journalist. “Youve got to have the interest. If you dont like it, you will not persist because journalism is a very difficult job,” Mary said.Out of experienc
18、e Mary told me that it was very important for a journalist to watch and talk to people. She said, “What a journalist does is painting a little picture of a story. The information has to be accurate. Therefore, you really have to be watching and listening.” Mary also emphasized (强调) the importance of
19、 experience. “It is important to collect as many skills as possible to be able to stand out of the crowd. A lot of the skills come from experience, so you wont walk in the street and be a good journalist. You will be a good journalist because youve done it long enough,” she said.Mary said, “You will
20、 not get a job handed to you. You will have to be prepared to put in long hours; you will have to be prepared to ring people, and you will have to be prepared to have no money for quite a while. In a word, you will have to work hard for it. Then it gets to the stage where you love your job and you t
21、hink Why is somebody paying me to do something that I really love?” From what an experienced journalist said, I learn that it is not just about the skills, but also the passion required to work in the field of journalism.36.

25、t it does not always turn out as expected. I have traveled a lot with my family over the years, but some experiences were worth forgetting altogether. I remember a particular traveling experience I had with my dad and stepmother, which sticks out in my mind for the wrong reasons. My dad and stepmoth
26、er had decided to drive to California for our family vacation. This was supposed to provide educational value, since we would be able to stop along the way and look at various sites in each state. Everything was going as planned until we decided to take a break and stop at the Grand Canyon (大峡谷). I
27、had always wanted to see this exciting place and had decided to write a report on it for the eighth-grade English class. We got out of the car and were walking on one of the paths to get to a cliff (悬崖) so we could take a family photo when I slipped and fell. I fell on a piece of rock, and immediate
28、ly felt the pain shot up my leg. My dad took me to the nearest hospital and after an eight-hour wait in the emergency room, found out that my two bones in my foot broken. Needless to say, our vacation was no fun for me because I was in pain and had a plastic cast on my foot during the whole two-week
29、 trip. I ended up making an appointment the day we got home to see an orthopedist. That was definitely not what I consider fun or a great vacation, and it really put a dent in our sightseeing plans. Who knew that trying to take a family picture would ruin my family vacation?

34、 bulls is part of the San Fermin Festival, which begins on 6th, July and lasts until 14th, July every year in Pamplona, Spain. People run through streets with angry bulls running after them. A bit of advice, if you happen to fall while doing the run, curl into a ball and hope for the best.Every year
35、 on 21st, August in the El Salvadorian town of Nejapa, the festival Bolas de Fuego is held. Men on opposing teams throw burning clothes at each other. It is surely a dangerous act. However, it is a tradition that dates back as far as 1685 after a volcano erupted (爆发) in this town.The Baby Jumping Fe
36、stival takes place in June each year in Castrillo de Murcia, Spain. It is a truly crazy Spanish practice that dates all the way back to 1620. Grown men dressed as the devil jump over babies born in the last 12 months of the year. The main aim of the festival is to protect babies against illness and
37、evil spirits. Now this is one for all cheese lovers.

If your news site will only have an article or two a da
44、y, you may want to use a blog template (模板).
